A very inviting pathway in the West Fork of Oak Creek Canyon. The colors were brilliant, the temperature was on the cool side of comfortable and the fragrance was great.

Cathedral Rock during a rainstorm, with sunset approaching. I waited 3 hours in the rain for this photograph. Oak Creek is approximately 150 yards to my right.

Lower Antelope Canyon, West of Page, Arizona. This location is probably 90 feet underground so the light has bounced off the walls of the canyon at least 3 times to get down here.

Upper Antelope Canyon, West of Page, Arizona. By the time light gets down here it has bounced off the walls at least 3 times.

Angel Window on North Rim of Grand Canyon, with sunset and a rainstorm approaching. The Colorado River can be seen through the window.

Cape Royal, on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, during a rainstorm near sunset. I hate to admit I was standing by a 6' metal tripod, hoping for lightning. Only a photographer would be that wierd.

Egg Shell Arch. The best time to see this arch is right around Thanksgiving, nearing sunset.

Changing leaves in Flagstaff, AZ, with a storm approaching.

A young lady on the rim of Canyon de Chelly, the day after a nice rainstorm, and just before dawn. Large numbers of coyotes all up and down the canyon were waking up and serenading us.

This bee was very busy pollinating the saguaro blossom and keeping other bees away.

A saguaro blossom, between the many bees visiting it.

Another bee really putting himself into his work. Instead of being dainty when they fly in, it is more of dive right into the middle of the blossom followed by wiggling. His legs looked like he already had a full load of pollen.

I could not get over the beauty and range of colors of the prickly pear cactus this year.
